5 in. Rosemary

Hailing from the Mediterranean, rosemary complements many dishes, plus looks wonderful in the landscape. Upright, evergreen, and extremely aromatic. Grows well in containers. Needs well-drained soil, and becomes increasingly drought-tolerant as it matures. Harvest stems regularly for best growth. Tastes stronger fresh than dried, unlike many other herbs. Perennial in zones 8 to 10.
